Villa E Palazzo Aminta
Overview
The only member of the ‘Leading Hotels of the World’ on the whole of Lake Maggiore, Villa E Palazzo Aminta is an exclusive and luxurious resort ideal for a romantic holiday. Located in Stresa, we love how the resort has retained the classic beauty of Italy with its timeless décor and striking architecture.
Take a stroll in the beautifully manicured gardens or enjoy a rejuvenating afternoon in Grotto Camelia, a gorgeous area of the spa where you’ll find Turkish baths, ice waterfalls and a hydro-massage pool. There’s also a heated outdoor pool with amazing views of the lake.
Inside you’ll find 90 rooms that are colourful, stately and opulent. The décor is luxurious and reminds us of an Italian palace with its plush furnishings and elegant textiles. All of the rooms and suites have picturesque views of the garden or Lake Maggiore, but our favourites are the suites with their spacious living areas and large balconies or terraces that bring the outdoors in.
There are two charming restaurants that we’re sure you’ll love as much as we do. For a taste of regional Italian dishes, head to I Mori with its grand windows looking out onto the lake. Or, if you fancy food from around the world, Le Isole has a wonderful summer terrace where you can enjoy varying cuisines. We quickly fell in love with the sophisticated style of I Principi Bar – who could resist enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail whilst sprawled on a velvet sofa.
